Halloween or Cats

Hello, 

Hope you are all well. 

I have the dreaded lurgy that's been going round.. lucky me...

Anyways, we have a brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft 

 - Link is HERE

This fortnights challenge is " Halloween or Cats "

I went with both. So here's what I've got..

 Absolutely love this image from Simply B stamps. 

She is super cute for a witch. 

The papers are a download from Etsy. I really wanted worded backing paper and these are perfect! 

The witch has been coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens. 

Hope to see you all playing along at the blog. 

See you!

Good Morning

Hope you're ready for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft

 - Link is HERE

This fortnights challenge is "Die cuts only"

Get the use out of those dies!

  I've used a onesie die that I think is from The Greeting Farm. 

I must say, I do love this die. The possibilities are endless with it. 

The card itself needed to me neutral hence the mint green, lemon, white and grey. 

The card blank itself is also embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. 

Hope you enjoy the challenge

But I'm back and here to show my DT card for My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

The challenge for this fortnight is " Krafty" So use kraft card on your project. 

I've gone for an image by All Dressed Up which is printed onto kraft card and coloured with Marco Rafine Pencils. 

First try with these again, I'm getting better..... I think 🙈 

Image used is part of the  "Party Season" - Link is HERE

The kraft card I cut on the curve and added it to the striped and spotty paper. 

Added a few flowers, twirly things, a trim and a sentiment to finish the card off. 

I'm pretty pleased with it. Need a bit more practise with the pencils tho! 😉 

Enjoy the challenge and please remeber to follow the rules..

Jasmine Texting

 Hello! 

It's been a while since I've played along with any challenges but thought I'd enter a few. 

You know when you have that card to make for a difficult teenager that's never off their phone... 

Well, there's a perfect image for this!

It's by Lili of the Valley and is called Jasmine Phone - Link is HERE

The papers I've used are a download from Etsy from HuckleberryHearts - Link is HERE

Wanted to make the card girly as well as bright and bold. All three papers are out of the download paper pack. I love how they complement each other. 

The image I've coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens. The paperclips are from IKEA. I love them! I love how they add more detail to the card. The three roses are made out of foam. And I've also added spiral staimen. These I've been looking for for like forever! I finally found them!! YAY! 

I will be selling these from my Etsy shop once I've listed them if anyone is interested. 

Here's a few close ups of the details and a shot that shows layers....

 Thanks for popping by. 

I hope you like my creation :) 

I'm entering the following challenges with my creation: 

1) Lili of the Valley FB - Feature A Female

2)   Crafty Catz - Anything Goes with an optional twist 

3) Addicted To Stamps - Make your Mark 

Good Morning! 

 

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

This fortnight's challenge is a sketch! By meeeee..... :) 

 Here's the sketch:

 

I've rotated mine to add an extra way of interpretting the sketch.

Here's what I've made : 

 

I have used an image by Jade Dragonne called Headphones and it’s been coloured in using Sharpie pens and a white gel pen.
I’ve added extra detail to the card by using pearls and a wooden word which reads crazy.

 

Remember to follow the rules and enjoy the challenge.
We look forward to seeing your creations.

I used a Faery Ink girl on this card ;) 

She has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens in greens and pinks.

It's currently -2 here in the middle of the UK! 

Anyways, I'm here today to show you a card I've made for my cousin's birthday. 

I am going to add her age but I couldn't remember how old she is! Ooops! 

Turns out she's 13..... 

So, here's the card:

The colour scheme and layout have come from the inspiration pic and layout on Fusion Card - Link is HERE 

And the image is from Tiddly Inks. She is called "Cute as a Cupcake Girl" - Link is HERE

I can not remember the last time I used my Spectrum Noir pens but I did on this. I had forgotten how good they are!

Alternatively, you can request the image via the Facebook group. 

  

She is such a Sassy Lady! 

I went with a black and white theme with a hint of red. I HAD to colour her hair in red!! 

I also had to use my red scrabble tiles on this card just for something a little different with the greeting. Both the hearts are punched out of glitter card with a gem added to the large black heart for extra detail. The bikini she is wearing is also glittery. I used a Sakura black glitter gel pen on her. 

I had fun making this card!

The Reindeer has been coloured using promarkers. I've glittered up the antlers too. What christmas card hasn't got a bit of sparkle?! Each card has a different greeting which is a peel off. 

Super quick post from me! 

Enjoy the challenge and see you over there! 

MTTC DT - Let It Snow!

How very apt that it did actually snow in Birmingham, UK on Friday night ready for our challenge  of Let It Snow over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

We want to see snow or snowflakes in your images this time around. 

I used an image out of the Hunky Dory Topper Pads. They are amazing!! 

The wording is wooden wording that I've had for ages and I added a couple of cute little bells to the ribbon bow :)  

Love the little owl and the little mousey hanging off the branch in the top right corner. 

Super quick from me as I'm working.... boooooo! 

Enjoy the challenge! 

Monday Greetings DT - Anything Goes

Hello everyone! 

I new challenge over at Monday Greetings on the OutLawz today - Link is HERE 

Our new challenge is "Anything Goes!" 

 

We are sponsored by Crafty Sentiments - Link to store is HERE 

I got to use the super cute Jason and Eve - Link is HERE

I have used a little play on words with the greeting. I thought it was quite appropriate with the little boy and girl :) 

  

Think I'm going through a chevron phase! Seem to be using a lot of this card at the mo. This time I went with a hint of yellow rather than blue tho. Infact, I think I'd already coloured the image in so that was pretty simple to make. I've used a grey and white spotty paper behind the image to tie in with this hair and trousers. Had to get some buttons in there too! And the play of words with the greeting made me chuckle. 

Here's a few more pics

Hope to see you join in the challenge :)
